In the last post, I posted the news that scientist have finally dealt with the problem of sterility in men, by creating what it seems a proper way of self reproduction, and not taking into account third party options, such as donors, as for men to be able to father children.I guess that this is good news for those couples, a man and a woman, who are unable to have children. This is a chance that they are getting so they can fulfill their dreams on becoming parents, when the affects of sin have not allowed them to fulfill their God given mandate, to multiply, Genesis 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
However, as with other scientific advances, this discovery may be used for the wrong reasons. Among the first people that were glad to see such a discovery were lesbians couples. They now had a chance to raise a family which would be of their own, not having to bring a third person into their relationship in order to procreate.
I hope the law makers will make good judgments in order to maintain the integrity of the family, which apart from the children, are made up of a dad and a mom, and at best, when something unforseen has happen, of one father or one mother. The family has never been envisioned to be two dads or two moms, living under one roof together.
It is my hope, my prayer, that this discovery, as with stem cells research, will be treated with the care and wisdom needed as to not temper with the family structure that has served humanity for so long.
